This is a video of pianist Hayato Sumino (aka Cateen) performing Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s ‘Flight Of The Bumblebee’ on a toy piano, at an ever increasing tempo, from 160BPM all the way to a blistering 250BPM. For reference, the original is typically played between 144 and 160BPM. In his own words

This is a video of the Magic: The Gathering card floor that the couple behind the Tap That MTG channel on Youtube installed in their basement, using 8,034 cards and covering 422 square feet. For reference, my basement is covered in stained carpet because it floods every time it rains.
This is a compilation video of sign language interpreters really bringing the sign of the horns while interpreting at heavy metal concerts. I could really FEEL those lyrics through their expression and, honestly, I’d be just as tempted to buy some merch from their table as the actual band’s. Badass,
